Steps:
- Put the chicken breasts side by side on a cutting board and lay a piece of plastic wrap over them. Pound the chicken breasts with a flat meat mallet, until they are about 1/4-inch thick. Put some flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to distribute evenly. In a wide bowl, beat the eggs with 3 tablespoons of water to make an egg wash. Heat the oil over medium-high flame in a large skillet.
- Dredge both sides of the chicken cutlets in the seasoned flour, and then dip them in the egg wash to coat completely, letting the excess drip off. When the oil is nice and hot, add the cutlets and fry for 2 minutes on each side until golden, turning once. Remove the chicken cutlets to a large platter in a single layer to keep warm.
- Toss the lemon slices into the pan and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the wine, broth, and lemon juice, simmer for 5 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly. Roll the butter in some flour and add it to the skillet, this will thicken the sauce. Stir to incorporate and dissolve the flour. Reduce the heat to medium-low and return the chicken to the pan; place the lemon slices on top of the cutlets. Simmer gently for 2 minutes to heat the chicken through. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Steps:
- Stir beaten eggs and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese together in a shallow bowl. Stir flour, salt, and pepper together in a separate bowl. Dredge cutlets in the seasoned flour.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat butter and oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Swirl the skillet once the butter has melted to combine butter and oil. Add lemon slices and cook, topped with a splatter screen, for 2 minutes per side.
- Dip floured chicken cutlets into the egg mixture and cook in the same skillet, about 4 minutes per side. Be careful not to disturb the cutlets as they brown. Remove browned cutlets to a rack and keep warm. Add garlic and cook about 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth, wine, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil and cook until liquid has reduced to about 1/3 cup, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and cool sauce slightly, about 2 minutes. Gradually add half-and-half, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper. Drain linguine, reserving some of the cooking water.
- Place skillet back on low heat. If the sauce is too thick, add cooking liquid from the pasta, 1 tablespoon at a time, until thinned to your desired consistency. If the sauce is too thin, create a paste from the leftover flour and about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Quickly stir or whisk the paste into the sauce and allow to cook to desired consistency.
- Return chicken pieces and lemon slices to the sauce to warm through, about 2 minutes.
- Serve each cutlet with two lemon slices and sauce over hot, cooked linguine. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Pound chicken breasts thin using a meat mallet.
- Combine beaten eggs and Parmesan cheese in a bowl; mix until uniform. Place flour on a wide, shallow plate.
- Soak 1 piece of chicken in the egg and cheese mixture, then place in flour to coat both sides. Place back in the egg mixture again, and coat with flour for a second time; transfer to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Pour olive oil into the bottom of a large frying pan and heat over medium heat until warm. Add chicken, in batches as needed, and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, no longer pink in the center, and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes. Place the cutlets in the preheated oven and use the same pan to prepare the sauce.
- Pour white wine into the pan; bring to a boil while scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Allow to reduce until you no longer smell the alcohol, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken broth and increase heat to high; allow the volume to boil down to about half. Add lemon juice. Transfer chicken into the sauce let sit, 3 to 5 minutes, turning once.

CHICKEN FRANCESE
Chicken francese, sometimes called chicken French, is one of those rare restaurant dishes that's truly easy to cook at home. If you can make chicken cutlets, you can make this lemony, buttery recipe; the only difference is an easy pan sauce that brightens the whole plate. This version includes lemon slices browned in butter, which are pretty and tasty but entirely optional. Although the name suggests that it's a French or Italian dish ("Francese" means French in Italian), it's actually neither: Like spaghetti and meatballs, it's a mostly Italian-American invention. Serve with something starchy to soak up every drop of the sauce; pasta is traditional.

Steps:
- In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper until blended. Place the flour in a separate bowl. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- In a wide skillet, heat olive and vegetable oils over medium heat until shimmering.
- Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, lightly dredge the chicken in flour and shake off any excess. Dip into egg batter, let excess batter drip back into the bowl and place in the skillet. Fry, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as the cutlets cook so they brown slowly and evenly, with a steady bubbling. Transfer to the paper-towel-lined pan and repeat with remaining cutlets.
- When all cutlets are browned, remove the pan from the heat and pour off the oil. Wipe out the pan with paper towels. Return the pan to low heat.
- If making the lemon slices (if not, skip to Step 6 below): Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter and then scatter the lemon slices over the bottom of the pan. Cook, stirring gently occasionally, until the lemon slices are golden and browning around the edges, about 3 minutes. Scoop out the lemon slices and set them aside.
- Add 3 tablespoons of butter, the wine and lemon juice and bring to a boil. Boil until the liquid is syrupy, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the stock, bring to a boil and cook until thickened into a sauce, about 5 minutes. (It will thicken more when you add the cutlets.) Taste and adjust the seasonings with lemon, salt and pepper; it should be quite lemony and not too salty.
- Reduce the heat, tuck the cutlets into the pan and simmer very gently until the sauce is velvety and the chicken pieces are heated through, about 4 minutes. Turn the cutlets over occasionally in the sauce. Place the browned lemon slices on top. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve, spooning some of the sauce over each serving.

Steps:
- Remove the tenderloin from each chicken breast half. Fillet each chicken breast half into 2 slices. Pound each piece of chicken, including the tenderloins, to 1/4-inch thickness. Place chicken in a bowl and pour in enough milk to completely cover chicken; soak for 30 minutes.
- Mix bread crumbs, Pecorino Romano cheese, and parsley together in a bowl. Remove chicken from milk and dredge through bread crumb mixture until each piece is evenly coated.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook chicken in the hot oil until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter a baking dish.
- Transfer chicken to the prepared baking dish, reserving 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet. Sprinkle salt and pepper over chicken. Place 1 slice lemon onto each chicken piece.
- Pour wine into the skillet with reserved olive oil; bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add chicken broth and lemon juice and boil until reduced by half, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour wine mixture over chicken and drizzle brandied orange liqueur over each.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and sauce is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.

- Prepare the flour and eggs: In a shallow plate, add the 1/2 cup of flour, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper. Whisk to combine. In another shallow plate or bowl whisk the eggs.
- Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise, then place each piece of chicken between 2 pieces of parchment paper and lightly pound it with the flat side of a meat mallet until it's about 1/4-inch in thickness. Repeat with remaining chicken. Dredge the cutlets in the flour mixture, fully coating both sides and shaking off any excess. Next, coat them in the egg mixture.
- Fry the chicken: Heat the oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 or 4 pieces of chicken to the skillet (or as many as you can fit). Cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Make the sauce: Clean the skillet of any excess oil, then add the lemon slices and cook until fragrant and slightly charred, about 30 seconds per side. Add the butter to the skillet and melt it. Whisk in the flour and cook for 30 seconds to cook off the flour taste. Whisk in the wine, broth, lemon juice, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and season with pepper. Simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
